The upstart golf league faced an existential threat in late April when the Saudi Public Investment Fund confirmed that it was pulling its financial support. The PIF’s decision left LIV scrambling to find other investors to provide enough cash to keep the circuit alive. Now, LIV says it has found another lead investor who will provide enough funding to keep the league operational next year and beyond.
LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil told reporters yesterday at Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey ahead of the circuit’s tournament there this weekend that LIV “has an agreement in place with a lead investor” to fund operations as the league looks to take a new approach. O’Neil didn’t say who the investor was or how large their investment is.
The Saudis had reportedly been spending about $1 billion per year on LIV, while O’Neil was said to be seeking between $250 million and $300 million to keep LIV afloat. So how are they going to bridge the gap?
One way is by playing fewer tournaments. Next year’s schedule will feature 10 tournaments, down from the 14 events LIV was supposed to hold this year. (One has already been canceled and another is in doubt.) Five events will be played in the United States, and the other five will be around the world. LIV played nine non-U.S. events this year.
Another way to cut costs is changing player compensation. LIV enticed big-name players to join the league when it began by using Saudi Arabia’s financial might to offer enormous signing bonuses and guaranteed salaries. Now, LIV wants players to take less money up front and instead offer them equity in the league. That could pay off down the road if LIV becomes a success, but if the league is a flop, then players are left with a worthless stake in a failed business. O’Neil also said that players will regain some of their name, image and likeness rights, making it easier to offset some of the lower salaries with increased sponsorship income.
The future of LIV relies heavily on its ability to retain its two biggest stars: Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm. DeChambeau’s contract expires after this season. Before the PIF pulled its funding, DeChambeau was reportedly seeking $500 million to re-sign with LIV. Rahm, on the other hand, told reporters in May that he has “several years” remaining on his contract. He’s reportedly owed as much as $150 million. But there could be a way out for Rahm. If LIV files for bankruptcy, Rahm’s contract could be voided, forcing the league to re-recruit him with the promise of equity.
When LIV was founded, it was positioned as a challenger to the PGA Tour, poaching some of its top players and presenting an alternative vision for the future of pro golf. But even before the PIF said it would shut off the firehose cash, the Tour seemed destined to win the war. The Tour instituted changes (like a less burdensome schedule and tournaments with bigger purses) that addressed some of the factors that made LIV appealing to players and thus avoided further mass defections. Without Saudi Arabia’s deep pockets, there’s no way for LIV to become the world’s biggest tour, but it’s possible that this scaled-down version could carve out a spot in the golf landscape.
5. Another excellent defensive play by recent Yankees call-up George Lombard Jr. He made a diving stop on a grounder with an exit velocity of 105.5 mph, then popped to his feet to make a strong throw to first and just catch the runner.
4. Not one but two goals for Lionel Messi, his first two goals for Inter Miami since the end of the World Cup.
2. Pete Crow-Armstrong’s home run that hit the scoreboard at Wrigley. It was his second homer of the day after he and Shohei Ohtani both hit leadoff dingers in the first inning.
1. Mets rookie Jefry Yan’s celebration after his first big league strikeout. Yan celebrates every strikeout by leaping in the air and almost doing a split on his return to the ground. It’s totally over-the-top, but he’s earned the right to be flashy. Yan spent five years out of organized baseball, working construction and delivery jobs in Arizona until he was spotted by the Marlins while pitching in a men’s league. Just shy of his 30th birthday, he’s finally a big leaguer.

Welcome to The Pregame Lineup, a weekday newsletter that gets you up to speed on everything you need to know for today’s games, while catching you up on fun and interesting stories you might have missed. Today’s edition is brought to you by David Adler.
The greatest showman in baseball is here, and he is an absolute electric factory.
Yan is a 29-year-old relief pitcher who was just called up by the Mets to make his MLB debut, 12 years after he first got to pro ball. That’s a pretty incredible story by itself. But that’s not why we’re here.
Yan also throws a sizzling 101 mph from the left side. That’s also not why we’re here.
Even before he ever got to the Majors, Yan was something of a cult hero for his strikeout celebrations. He’s a full-on dancer on the mound. With every K, Yan launches himself airborne … and that’s just the start of his celly, which usually involves an extra flourish, or two, or three.
Can anyone stop the Red Sox? They were 11 games under .500 on July 1. Now they’re 11 games over .500. They’ve won seven games in a row and 25 of their last 28. They’ve won nine straight series, including this one, as they go for the sweep of the other Sox tonight. Boston will look to spoil Luis Castillo’s White Sox debut, after the longtime Mariners workhorse came over at the Trade Deadline.
The Braves are back to their winning ways, allowing them to put some distance between themselves and the Phillies in the NL East. They lost 19 of their last 28 games going into the All-Star break, but they’ve won 14 of 19 since the break to go 8 1/2 games up on the Phils. Also, shoutout to Matt Olson, who passed Stan Musial for eighth place on the all-time most consecutive games played list yesterday.
CAN 3-TIME ALL-STAR ARM BOUNCE BACK?
As Luis Castillo gets ready to make his first start for the White Sox tonight, we’re wondering: Is the change of scenery enough to trigger a bounceback from the veteran right-hander?
Castillo is having the worst season of his career, with a 5.06 ERA through 20 outings. He just hasn’t been the same pitcher that he was in his first several seasons as a Mariner.
Castillo has to be better if he’s going to help the White Sox reach the postseason. But here are three positives that he can build on in Chicago:
1) His sinker has promise
Castillo has been throwing his sinker less this season (16% usage, down from 22%), but it’s actually been his one pitch to generate positive value from a run prevention standpoint. It has above-average velocity (95.5 mph), it moves a ton (over 18 inches of horizontal break), and it induces grounders (63% ground-ball rate). There’s probably more opportunity for him to use that pitch to his advantage.
2) His 4-seamer still misses bats
Castillo’s overall whiff rates and strikeout rates have dropped a lot. But the one pitch that is still strong at getting swing-and-miss is his other fastball, the four-seamer. The 27% whiff rate against Castillo’s heater puts him in the 80th percentile of MLB pitchers. If he can focus his four-seamer with two strikes, he can hopefully use that as a putaway pitch to get back some of those missing K’s.
3) He can still get hitters to chase
Castillo is inducing a 33% chase rate this season, which puts him right around the top quarter of MLB pitchers and is right in line with what he’s done in past, better seasons. He hasn’t been fully capitalizing on those chases to this point, but the more out-of-zone swings he can force, the better the results will be.
1 WEEK ‘TIL FIELD OF DREAMS
The MLB at Field of Dreams Game is just a week away. Next Thursday, the Phillies and Twins bring baseball back to the cornfields of Dyersville, Iowa.
It’s the third edition of the Field of Dreams Game, presented by John Deere. The game, which is set near the iconic location of the classic 1989 film “Field of Dreams,” is set for 7:30 p.m. ET and will stream exclusively on Netflix.
The Twins are the home team for this regular-season game.
Will the Phillies and Twins wear special uniforms?
Yes. The Phillies’ gray road uniforms are inspired by the same unis the team wore from 1939-41 while the Twins’ home uniforms are inspired by their original duds from the 1960s. See ’em here.
Will any Hall of Famers be at the game?
Yes! More than 25 Hall of Famers are scheduled to walk through the cornfields and onto the diamond during a pregame ceremony. Among that group are luminaries who played for the Phillies, the Twins, or both.
Michael Clair has the details on a unique upcoming MLB event in India…
Cricket and baseball will square off this fall as MLBx heads to India.
On Oct. 24 at Mumbai Football Arena, Andheri Sports Complex, former MLB superstars Nick Swisher and Adrían González will take on India’s T20 World Cup-winning captain Surya Kumar Yadav in a battle of power and defense supremacy.
The game is a modified, co-ed 3-on-3 home run derby which rewards players for home runs and defensive catches — making it the perfect format for big leaguers and cricket stars to battle.

“For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground…” — Isaiah 44:3
While God provides the living water that sustains our souls, we still need water here on earth to sustain life. As poet W. H. Auden wisely observed:
“Thousands have lived without love, not one without water.”
Arizona knows that reality better than most.
If you’ve turned on the news recently, you’ve probably seen headlines warning about the Colorado River, shrinking reservoirs, and a new federal proposal that Arizona leaders say could leave our state carrying an unfair share of future water shortages.
Like many issues involving Washington, the debate is wrapped in legal jargon, court rulings, and agreements that date back more than a century.
So, let’s set aside the politics and explain what’s really happening—in plain English.
Think of the Colorado River as a business.
Imagine seven business partners who agree to split the profits from a company.
For years, they believe the company earns $100 every month, so each partner plans accordingly.
Then one day they discover the company actually earns only $75.
Suddenly everyone agrees there is less money.
The argument becomes who gives up their share.
That is exactly where we are today.
More than one hundred years ago, Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming agreed to divide the waters of the Colorado River.
Unfortunately, those agreements were negotiated during unusually wet years when officials believed the river carried substantially more water than history has since shown it actually produces.
Today, the math simply no longer works.
How We Got Here
The Colorado River provides drinking water for roughly 40 million Americans, irrigates millions of acres of farmland that help feed our nation, and generates electricity at Hoover Dam, Glen Canyon Dam, and Parker Dam. It also fills Lake Mead, Lake Powell, and Lake Havasu—the reservoirs that make modern life in much of the Southwest possible.
But after more than two decades of drought, warmer temperatures, and continued population growth, the river no longer produces enough water to satisfy every promise made decades ago.
Nobody disputes that reality.
The disagreement is over who sacrifices.
Why Arizona Is Different
Many people assume Arizona simply pumps water directly from the Colorado River.
It doesn’t.
Instead, Arizona depends on one of the greatest engineering accomplishments in American history—the Central Arizona Project (CAP).
Think of CAP as Arizona’s giant drinking straw.
The Colorado River flows along our western border, while most Arizonans live hundreds of miles away.
CAP is a remarkable 336-mile canal that lifts water nearly 3,000 feet uphill from Lake Havasu before carrying it across the desert to Phoenix, Tucson, and countless communities in between.
Today it supplies water to more than six million Arizonans, tribal communities, farms, industries, and businesses.
Without CAP, modern Arizona simply would not exist as we know it.
The problem isn’t the canal.
The problem is the river feeding it.
Imagine building a pipeline capable of carrying 100 gallons of water only to discover the reservoir supplying it now contains 60 gallons.
The pipeline still works.
There simply isn’t enough water to fill it.
Why Arizona Gets Cut First
This is the part that frustrates many Arizonans.
Arizona spent decades battling California over Colorado River water.
When Congress finally approved the Central Arizona Project in 1968, Arizona accepted a difficult compromise.
California retained much of its senior water rights while much of Arizona’s CAP supply received junior priority during shortages.
Think of it like boarding an airplane.
California boarded first.
Arizona boarded later.
When the flight is oversold, who gets bumped?
The last passenger on the plane.
That is essentially how today’s shortage rules work.
At the time, few imagined the Colorado River would one day decline to today’s levels, so the compromise appeared reasonable.
Today, those decades-old decisions carry enormous consequences.
Who Makes These Decisions?
Many assume governors simply negotiate water reductions every year.
They don’t.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation operates Hoover Dam, Glen Canyon Dam, Lake Mead, and Lake Powell.
Think of the Bureau as the person controlling the faucet.
But it doesn’t invent the rules.
Instead, it administers what is known as the Law of the River—a century’s worth of interstate compacts, congressional legislation, Supreme Court decisions, treaties, contracts, and operating agreements.
As Lake Mead falls below certain elevations, predetermined shortage rules automatically take effect.
The lower the lake falls, the larger Arizona’s reductions become.
Why the States Are Fighting
This debate isn’t really about whether conservation is necessary.
Nearly everyone agrees it is.
The real disagreement is over fairness.
California argues that water rights established generations ago should continue to be honored because entire communities, farms, and industries were built around those legal protections.
Arizona argues that while we have already accepted significant reductions, we should not continue carrying a disproportionate share of future shortages simply because of compromises made more than fifty years ago.
Meanwhile, the Upper Basin states—Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and New Mexico—argue they should not be forced into comparable reductions because many of them already consume less than their legal allocations.
Finding common ground has proven extraordinarily difficult.
Under the proposal, Arizona, California, and Nevada—the Lower Basin states—would absorb virtually all mandatory shortages, with reductions reaching as much
as three million acre-feet annually during severe drought.
Upper Basin states would not face comparable mandatory reductions under the proposal.
Arizona officials have expressed serious concerns that the framework continues placing an outsized share of future shortages on our state while preserving many of California’s senior rights.
Negotiations remain ongoing, and additional litigation is widely expected.
What This Means for Arizona
If future reductions continue under the current framework, Arizona could face:
Reduced Colorado River deliveries through the Central Arizona Project.
Increased pressure on agriculture, particularly in Pinal, Maricopa, and Yuma Counties.
Higher costs for cities and water providers.
Greater uncertainty for future housing, manufacturing, and economic growth.
Arizona has invested billions of dollars in conservation, groundwater recharge, water banking, and infrastructure.
We have done our part.
Is There Any Good News?
The situation is serious, but there is reason for optimism.
First, the federal government rejected simply allowing Lake Mead and Lake Powell to continue declining unchecked. The goal is to prevent reservoirs from falling to dangerously low levels that threaten both water deliveries and hydroelectric power.
Second, these operating rules will be revisited every two years, allowing adjustments if conditions improve or if the states negotiate a better agreement.
Finally, these proposals are not the final word. Additional negotiations—and likely court challenges—mean Arizona still has opportunities to secure a fairer outcome.
My Record: I’ve Been Warning About This for Years
None of this should surprise anyone.
For more than a decade I have warned that this day was coming.
In 2020, I founded and chaired the bipartisan Colorado River Caucus, where I argued that conservation alone would never solve the Southwest’s long-term water challenges.
I consistently advocated developing new water, not simply dividing less water among more people.
As shortages intensified in 2022, I publicly supported desalination projects in the Sea of Cortez, pipelines transporting desalinated water into Arizona, public-private infrastructure partnerships, expanded reservoirs, aquifer recharge, and federal investment in long-term water infrastructure.
During 2023 and 2024, I convened Arizona water roundtables bringing together engineers, hydrologists, local officials, infrastructure experts, energy developers, and water authorities to examine practical solutions.
Those discussions focused on desalination facilities in cooperation with Mexico, interstate pipelines, pumping stations, permitting reform, nuclear-powered desalination technologies, and expanding Arizona’s long-term water portfolio.
For years, readers of this newsletter have heard me repeat the same message: We cannot conserve our way out of this problem.
Conservation remains essential, but it cannot create new water.
That is why I have consistently used my position on the House Natural Resources Committee to advocate expanding Bureau of Reclamation infrastructure, reducing permitting delays, strengthening interstate and international partnerships, and investing in projects that increase the overall water supply available to the American West.
Encouragingly, policymakers are beginning to recognize what I have argued for years: solving this crisis requires more than simply allocating shortages. It requires building new infrastructure, developing new water supplies, modernizing existing systems, and making strategic investments that expand the West’s long-term water portfolio.
Arizona has already begun moving in that direction. In 2026, legislation was introduced directing the Arizona Department of Water Resources to study desalinating brackish groundwater at multiple locations across the state—a promising step toward diversifying Arizona’s future water supply.
The Colorado River will remain the lifeblood of the Southwest, but protecting Arizona’s future requires both fairness in how existing water is allocated and bold investments that create new sources of water for generations to come.
The Bottom Line
If you remember only one thing, remember this:
The Colorado River debate is not really about water.
It is about whether a century-old system should continue determining who bears the burden when the river no longer produces enough water for everyone.
Arizona isn’t asking for special treatment.
We’re asking for a fair deal.
And I will close by once again repeating what I have said for years:We cannot conserve our way out of this challenge.
Conservation is part of the solution—but it is not the solution.
Arizona and the American West need new water.
That means pursuing desalination, expanding reservoirs, investing in pipelines where practical, accelerating aquifer recharge, reducing unnecessary permitting delays, studying interstate water transfers where feasible, and embracing the kind of bold infrastructure projects that built the West in the first place.
The time to begin developing tomorrow’s water supply is not twenty years from now.
It is today.
DOJ Uncovers $350 Million in Fraud, Protecting Taxpayer Dollars
For far too long, hardworking Americans have watched billions of their tax dollars disappear through fraud and government abuse. That is why I applaud the Department of Justice’s latest enforcement effort, which this week uncovered roughly $350 million in alleged fraud involving SNAP benefits, housing assistance, SBA loans, Medicare, and fraudulent tax schemes across seven southeastern states. The investigation includes 17 separate cases and highlights the importance of strong coordination between federal and state officials to identify and prosecute those who steal from taxpayers.
This is exactly the kind of accountability Washington needs. Every dollar lost to fraud is a dollar taken from American taxpayers and from those who legitimately rely on these programs. Congress must continue supporting efforts to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse while ensuring taxpayer-funded benefits are protected from criminals who seek to exploit the system. Honest Americans deserve nothing less.
Fauci Refuses to Answer for the COVID Response
For years, Americans were told to “trust the science” while anyone who questioned the government’s pandemic response was ridiculed, censored, or silenced. Yet when Dr. Anthony Fauci finally appeared before the Senate Homeland Security Committee this week to answer for the policies that reshaped our nation, he invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times rather than explain his actions.
Dr. Fauci locked millions of Americans in their homes and kept families apart during the COVID pandemic, yet he stood silent while more than 20 million unvaccinated illegals poured across our southern border. That was apparently acceptable. Meanwhile, Americans were not allowed to visit a dying grandfather in a nursing home or spend Christmas with their grandmother. Now that there is a reckoning of his authoritarian conduct, he has chosen to plead the fifth. He doesn’t have one word to say to the millions whose lives he stole and were forever changed by the policies he championed.
Millions of Americans endured lockdowns, school closures, vaccine mandates, lost jobs, shuttered businesses, and economic hardship. Families deserve answers—not evasions.
Newly released records and testimony continue to raise serious questions about Fauci’s role in funding risky gain-of-function research, his early knowledge of the lab leak hypothesis, and the shifting public health guidance that dictated nearly every aspect of American life. According to information highlighted during the hearing, Fauci was aware of the lab leak theory early in the pandemic, yet it was publicly dismissed while Americans were told to accept one changing directive after another.
Rather than provide transparency, Fauci stonewalled nearly every line of questioning. His repeated invocation of the Fifth Amendment only deepened concerns about what remains hidden from the American people.
The American people sacrificed too much to be denied the truth. Regardless of one’s views on the pandemic, no public official—especially one whose decisions affected virtually every American household—should be beyond scrutiny. Accountability and transparency are essential to restoring trust in our institutions, and no one should receive a free pass simply because they once claimed to be “following the science.”
